Danger
Do not open any part of the housing. There are no
operating elements inside. An open housing can create
the risk of a life-threatening electrical shock.
Never submerse any parts of the appliance in
water or other liquids! This can create the risk
of a life-threatening electrical shock if residual
liquid comes into contact with powered
components.
Before cleaning the appliance,...
• first, remove the plug from the power socket and
allow the appliance to cool down completely.
• Clean the exterior surfaces and the power cable
with a slighly damp cloth. Be sure to dry the
appliance well before taking it back into use.
• Never use any cleansers, abbrasive substances
or solvents. These can damage the appliance.
In the event of scale deposits
• Before descaling, remove the spout sieve 7 (see
chapter "Removing/replacing the pourer sieve").
• Take any decalcifying agent used for kitchen
utensils (e.g. decalcifiers for coffee machines)
from a grocery shop. Proceed as detailed in the
instructions provided for the use of the decalcfying
agent.

• Open the lid 1
• Press the plastic tab down and simultaneously
pull the spout sieve 7 inwards.
• Remove the spout sieve 7
• Clean the spout sieve 7 with a moistened wash-
cloth under running water.
• After cleaning, place the spout sieve 7 against
the opening on the inside . Ensure that the lower
recess is sitting on the pin inside the kettle. Press
on the spout sieve 7 until it engages.
